Ye Xiao smiled and sat down in front of the computer. The screen still displayed the movie he had downloaded last time. At this moment, Huo Feng looked at him with a face full of surprise, clearly skeptical about the mystical pill Ye Xiao had mentioned.

"Why such a surprised look? Didn't I tell you? I will make it possible for you to practice martial arts again," Ye Xiao said with a slight smile, glancing at Huo Feng before deleting all the movies from the computer.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Huo Feng was even more astonished. If she had been doubtful before, she now truly believed him, for Ye Xiao's eyes told her he was not lying.

With a flip of his hand, a silver-grey pill appeared in Ye Xiao's palm.

Ye Xiao said, "This is a Heart Cleansing Pill. Take it, and after you operate your cultivation technique for an hour, your damaged meridians will be completely repaired, and even the True Qi that had disappeared will be restored."

Huo Feng was immediately shocked. That meant her previous efforts could still be retained.

With a mix of shock and joy in her heart, Huo Feng looked at Ye Xiao earnestly and said, "Brother Xiao, thank you."

"There's no need to thank me. I'm not giving you this pill for free," Ye Xiao suddenly said with a sly smile.

Huo Feng was slightly taken aback and then looked at Ye Xiao, clearly waiting for what he would say next.

Ye Xiao asked, "Why do you practice martial arts?"

"For vengeance."

"And after vengeance?"

At Ye Xiao's words, Huo Feng herself was taken aback. Right, all her thoughts were focused on vengeance, but what then? What should she do after achieving her vengeance?

Ye Xiao could see that Huo Feng was in a state of confusion and then said with a smile, "Since you don't know, let me tell you. After vengeance, your life will be mine, and you must follow my orders unconditionally. Any and every command."

"Any command?" Huo Feng hesitated for a moment and then said, "My life is given by you. I won't hesitate to ascend a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, but..."

"Don't worry. I may be a demon, but a kind-hearted one at that. I will never force you to do anything against your will."

With those words, Ye Xiao had made it very clear. She must follow his orders unconditionally, yet he, Ye Xiao, would not coerce or tempt, let alone mimic the bastard Chen Ming.

Just for that, it was worth it for Huo Feng to nod in agreement.

Ye Xiao placed the Heart Cleansing Pill on the computer desk and said, "Take it and swallow."

Ye Xiao did not tell Huo Feng the value of the Heart Cleansing Pill, for he believed that she would find out in the future. Once Huo Feng knew the pill's worth, her loyalty to him would naturally become even more resolute.

Huo Feng wasn't shy. She walked up to the computer desk, pinched the marble-sized Heart Cleansing Pill between her fingers, and without any hesitation, stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it whole.

After swallowing the pill, Huo Feng immediately went to sit on the bed and began to conduct her cultivation.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao had deleted those movies, and with nothing better to do, he swiftly typed out the cultivation technique he had taught Huo Feng on the computer.

Ye Xiao had some doubts about this technique, for it was unusual for an internal cultivation method to cause one to go mad so quickly.

It took him just ten minutes to type out an entire internal cultivation method, after which he started to scrutinize it word by word. About fifty characters in, suddenly, Ye Xiao noticed something off; while the initial part contained extremely yang-focused incantations, surprisingly, a few obscure and predominantly yin-attribute words started to appear. How could a Fire Attribute and yang internal cultivation method contain yin-attribute vocabulary?

Upon further inspection, Ye Xiao found that many key parts throughout the text contained these yin-attribute words, which could be easily missed without careful examination, but upon closer scrutiny, they defied logic.

Half an hour later, Ye Xiao had identified at least fifteen such places and finally understood why Huo Feng had gone berserk; the internal cultivation method itself was flawed.

Ye Xiao felt a mix of amusement and frustration. If Huo Feng knew that she had almost been destroyed by going berserk because of this flawed internal cultivation method, Ye Xiao wondered what she would think.

Having identified the errors, it was only natural for Ye Xiao to start making corrections. Since it wasn't his first time revising internal cultivation methods, and considering that the method he passed on to Huo Feng also had Fire Attributes and shared similarities with his Nine Yang Divine Skill, the revision process was considerably easier for him. In less than half an hour, based on the original method he had given to Huo Feng, he integrated some of the essence of the Nine Yang Divine Skill to create a new Fire Attribute internal cultivation method.

After carefully rereading it a few times and making further revisions, a vented line of a Fire Attribute internal cultivation method emerged.

Why say it was incomplete? Because Ye Xiao's Nine Yang Divine Skill itself was lacking, only possessing the cultivation methods for the first four levels, Ye Xiao could only revise the method up to the fourth level.

What to name it?

Ye Xiao looked at the newly revised Internal Cultivation Method and couldn't help but ponder deeply before raising his head to glance at Huo Feng, who was diligently practicing.

This mental method was exclusive to Huo Feng, aptly named...

Blood Flame Phoenix Skill.

Ye Xiao thought for a minute and finally came up with this very imposing name. He was currently unable to judge the level of the Blood Flame Phoenix Skill, but one thing was certain: even if it were of the Xuan Rank, it must be of the Advanced Xuan Rank. Moreover, it had many essence elements blended from the Nine Yang Divine Skill. This went directly to say that the Blood Flame Phoenix Skill likely had the inheritance of immortal skills; hence, Ye Xiao felt that it might surpass the Xuan Rank Inner Strength Techniques.

However, no matter how advanced, it was still an incomplete version unless Ye Xiao could obtain the full Nine Yang Divine Skill; otherwise, the Blood Flame Phoenix Skill could not be perfected.

An hour, which is two hours, quickly passed.

Huo Feng slowly opened her eyes and once again she felt her body brimming with energy.

"I've recovered, truly recovered." Huo Feng rejoiced, feeling the faint Inner Power True Qi within her body.

Ye Xiao looked up at Huo Feng and the stone in his heart finally dropped. The pill was definitely non-toxic, but as it was his first time refining the Heart Cleansing Pill, he honestly couldn't be sure if the pill he made would have the miraculous effects of a Heart Cleansing Pill.

Now, Huo Feng's words undoubtedly verified the effectiveness of the Heart Cleansing Pill.

"In the future, you should practice this Internal Cultivation Method," said Ye Xiao to Huo Feng, pointing at the computer screen.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Huo Feng immediately got off the bed and hurried to the computer screen, looking at Ye Xiao with confusion, "This technique isn't much different from what I practiced before."

"It's not much different," Ye Xiao said, "but practicing this technique will benefit you."

"What's the name of this Internal Cultivation Method?"

Ye Xiao replied, "Blood Flame Phoenix Skill."

Huo Feng was slightly taken aback by the name Ye Xiao gave the technique, "What an interesting name."

Shaking his head, Ye Xiao said, "This was specifically tailored for you."

"Tailored for me?" This time, Huo Feng was indeed very surprised.

Ye Xiao nodded with a smile, "The Blood Flame Phoenix Skill only has the first four levels for now, I will help you gradually perfect it later."

Huo Feng nodded and earnestly said to Ye Xiao, "Thank you very much."

Ye Xiao simply smiled and said, "You're welcome. Now that your meridians have recovered, I should be going. Memorize the Blood Flame Phoenix Skill without missing a single word. Then delete it from the computer. I don't want a second person to know about the Blood Flame Phoenix Skill."

With these words, Ye Xiao stood up and walked out directly.

Reaching the door, he spoke again, "Remember my words, haste makes waste. Practice slowly, and in the future, you can certainly become among the best of masters. I wouldn't like a repeat of the last incident to occur; the Heart Cleansing Pill only works once. If it happens a second time, not even an immortal can save you."

Huo Feng nodded at Ye Xiao's words. Though she didn't speak, she took his advice to heart.

Leaving the room, Ye Xiao took the elevator down to the lobby of the hotel, only to hear several hotel employees discussing fervently.

"It's really quite the revelation, the chief of the Guard Bureau, Yang Ming, is truly amazing. He has solved several illegal transaction cases in a row and even caught many individuals threatening public safety. It seems that the safety in Minghai City will get better and better," conversed the hotel staff while laughing and watching the local news on the TV mounted on the wall.

Ye Xiao glanced over as well; it appeared that Yang Ming had cracked another illegal transaction at a place called Black Cat KTV the previous night, seizing 320 grams of contraband. For the ordinary populace, this was unquestionably a significant case.

Black Cat KTV?

Ye Xiao approached the employees and asked, "Where is Black Cat KTV? I've never heard of it."

The employees, upon hearing Ye Xiao speak, looked at him in astonishment, and one of the average-looking girls disdainfully said, "You haven't heard of Black Cat KTV? Do you know Jianxing Real Estate? It's nearby Jianxing Real Estate."

Hearing the name Jianxing Real Estate, Ye Xiao immediately understood.

He then ignored the girl showing contempt and directly walked out.

Upon leaving the hotel, Ye Xiao headed straight for Minghai Academy; it was already around half-past ten by then.

Now that the Heart Cleansing Pill had proven effective, Ye Xiao was keen on quickly making more of them to improve the meridians of Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan. This would be hugely beneficial for their Martial Arts training. Additionally, he thought of something—why was Su Yun always visiting the Ancient Pharmacy at night to look for those precious herbs? Could it be that Su Yun was also a Martial Artist, or perhaps she encountered the same problem as Huo Feng?
